Jewish Camp Builds Leadership

This morning, we welcomed 200 very excited campers to Kalsman for our second session of the summer. The energy that was felt this morning was like nothing else. And now I am here with the people who really help make sure camp happens. I want to start off by saying thank you. Thank you for having me, thank you for all you do. If it was not for FJC, SAMIS, the Federation, I would not be here talking to you..
